my absolute favorite coffee mug because 1. it's floral. c'mon. 2. my sweet mama gave it to me.
and again because i love it, so.
the face i always get when she catches me sneaking a photo of her.
catching up on coupon and recent events. anyone need some coupons? i have a million.
in the midst of the calm.
i have a thing for ceiling fans.
like i said.
welcome to the office.
words for the soul.
my grandma received this chair from my dad's father back in the seventies.
cutie pies... or bears.
that morning light though.
and again.
puzzles upon puzzles upon puzzles.
the more the merrier.
i have this new found love for old, rough around the edges wood pieces.
well, because it's kinda dreamy.
we have plants just about everywhere. it's safe to say we're good on oxygen.
more coupons.
there's at least a dozen pairs of glasses laying around the house and also, my dad gave my gramma this mug.
because.
she may be the dishes queen. but around here, we're a team.
crisp winter sky.
settled snow is peaceful.
i feel so small and that's okay. i wish them safe travels and a nice welcome home.
i really cannot get over this photo. i think i stared at it for five minutes straight earlier.
blowing in the breeze.
i'm madly, madly in love with my new thrifted tribal-print sweater find. really.
gramma eating out of her beloved cup. she uses them for everything.
fresh raspberry shake. yummmm.
my grandpa said that he used to make them for his mama and that makes my heart happy.
natural light is the best light.
she watches over gramma and grandpa while they dream.
bed-side rosary. my great grandparents said that a couple who prays together, stays together.
afghan.
gentle, hard working hands.
i really soaked it all up today, let me tell ya. admittedly, i didn't get out of bed until well after eleven, but it was nice. really nice. my days are so filled with love lately, i may explode and i'm not sure i'd even mind. we lounged around sporting our best bed heads, full tummies and hearts and it was so good. plus, i make some of the best coffee around and gramma and i drank it right up while we watched a couple of eighties movies and laughed until it hurt. for lunch, there was steak, salad, and fried potatoes and we near licked our plates. (i'm exaggerating... kind of.) but really, they are fantastic cooks and i am so very spoiled. with bellies resting, we talked about the good stuff and i warmed my toes underneath my grandma as she was busy working on her afghan for my great aunt, sue. grandpa is kind of a sucker for ice cream and as soon as lunch was gone, he was already ready for dessert, but we waited until our food had settled a bit. then, he made some delicious raspberry shakes. the raspberries were frozen and had come from our garden earlier this summer. (we have quite the pair with green thumbs up in this joint) let me say, it more than hit the spot. i took a little walk outside by myself and breathed in the fresh winter air and i honestly can't remember the last time i had really paid attention to how wonderful the crisp air smells. anyway, i apologize for all of the rambling. i just truly hope all of your days were just as swell as ours was and that your hearts were left filled to the brim and spilling over. life is good. i can't seem to wipe the smile from my face and for that, i am beyond grateful.
